Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the opportunity within your organization. With a background as an Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry and a Doctorate in Medicinal & Analytical Chemistry, I am excited about the prospect of contributing to your team.

Currently, I hold a position as an Assistant Professor at the University of Sunnybank, where I teach undergraduate courses in Foundations of Medicinal Chemistry and Introduction to Physiology and Pharmacology. Additionally, I serve as a Research Coordinator in the Department of Pharmacology, working on various projects sponsored by industry and government that involve pharmaceutical drug design, development, and synthesis.

I possess expertise in synthesizing small molecules as ligands for biological targets such as kinases, G protein-coupled receptors, ion channels, and antimicrobial targets, aligning with the requirements of the role.

While I have valued my time in academia, I am now seeking an industry position that will allow me to focus on long-term research and development objectives. I have attached my curriculum vitae for your review and consideration.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills and experience align with the needs of your organization.

Sincerely,

Victoria Smith
